Quick Fix: You can change the simulator target to Apple Silicon by going to Product > Destination > Destination Architectures > Show Apple Silicon Destinations
The Problem:
Xcode no longer allows users to specify whether or not to run simulators under Rosetta translation.
In a project that only contains Apple silicon compatible code and libraries, the Simulator targets show "(Rosetta)", indicating that the simulators are running under Rosetta translation.
How can the simulators be returned to running natively, without Rosetta translation?
The Solutions:
Solution 1: Show Native Simulator Targets
To revert the Simulator to non-Rosetta mode, follow these steps:
Open the XCode project.
Navigate to: Product > Destination > Destination Architectures.
Select "Show Apple Silicon Destinations" from the drop-down menu.
This will disable Rosetta for the Simulator and allow you to build and run on native Apple Silicon targets.
